  • We shall propose maximum likelihood, Bayesian and generalized maximum likelihood estimation for the reliability of the two-unit hot standby system with exponential lifetime distribution that switch is perfect. Each estimation will be compared numerically in terms of various mission times, parameter values and asymptotic relative efficiency through Monte Carlo simulation.

  • A non-parametric procedure is presented for testing exponentially against used better than aged in convex ordering class (UBAC) of life distributions based on u-test. Convergence of the proposed statistic to the normal distribution is proved. Selected critical values are tabulated for sample sizes 5(5)40. The Pitman asymptotic relative efficiency of my proposed test to tests of other classes is studied. An example of 40 patients suffering from blood cancer disease demonstrates practical application of the proposed test.

  • This paper deals with the asymptotic properties for statistical inferences of the parameters in nonlinear regression models. As an optimal criterion for robust estimators of the regression parameters, the regression quantile method is proposed. This paper defines the regression quintile estimators in the nonlinear models and provides simple and practical sufficient conditions for the asymptotic normality of the proposed estimators when the parameter space is compact. The efficiency of the proposed estimator is especially well compared with least squares estimator, least absolute deviation estimator under asymmetric error distribution.

  • Quasi likelihood estimators defined by Wedderburn are derived for several nonlinear time series models. And also, the least squared estimator and Quasi-likelihood estimator are compared in sense of asymptotic relative efficiency at those models. Finally, we apply these estimations to a real data on exchanging rate and stock market prices.

  • In this paper, we propose the one-step least squares method based on the squared differences to estimate the parameters of the variogram used for spatial data modelling, and discuss its asymptotic efficiency. The proposed method does not require to specify lags of interest and partition lags, so that we can delete the subjectiveness and ambiguity originated from the lag selection in estimating spatial dependence.

  • This paper is concerned with the development of a nonparametric procedure for the statistical inference about the nonlinear regression parameters. A confidence region and a hypothesis testing procedure based on a class of signed linear rank statistics are proposed and the asymptotic distributions of the test statistic both under the null hypothesis and under a sequence of local alternatives are investigated. Some desirable asymptotic properties including the asymptotic relative efficiency are discussed for various score functions.

  • Falk(1994) showed that the asymptotic efficiency of the Pickands estimator of the extreme value index $\beta$ can considerably be improved by a simple convex combination. In this paper we propose an alternative estimator of $\beta$ which is as asymptotically efficient as the optimal convex combination of the Pickands estimators but has a better finite-sample performance. We prove consistency and asymptotic normality of the proposed estimator. Monte Carlo simulations are conducted to compare the finite-sample performances of the proposed estimator and the optimal convex combination estimator.

  • Optimal estimating functions for a class of autoregressive models with GARCH(1,1) error are discussed. The asymptotic properties of the estimator as the solution of the optimal estimating equation are investigated for the models. We have also some simulation results which suggest that the proposed optimal estimators have smaller sample variances than those of the Conditional least-squares estimators under the heavy-tailed error distributions.
